2017 Map of Hillburn City SW

About this map

Lea County land west of the High Plains escarpment is defined here by a rigid grid of ranching roads and township boundaries. This 2017 survey details the landscape across the intersections of t14s r34e, t14s r35e, t15s r34e, and t15s r35e. The network of local access roads like Hilburn Rd, Kidd Rd, and Markum Rd suggests a landscape partitioned for grazing or mineral extraction. Named lanes such as Liz Ln, Alma Ln, and Marthe Ln offer clues for genealogists and local historians tracking family-owned parcels and homesteads. The terrain is largely uniform, punctuated by the north-south artery of Co Rd 147 and scattered residential or agricultural landmarks like Hightop and Macduff, which anchor the sparse settlement patterns of this corner of New Mexico.
